Czech Partnership with Les Arcs
 

The Czech Audiovisual Fund continues its long-term partnership with Les Arcs Film Festival and brings to France two Czech producers well-experienced in international co-productions: Jan Macola of Mimesis Film and Alice Tabery of Cinepoint. The collaboration with the festival should bolster the Czech Republic's involvement in the production of high-quality, potentially successful European films and aid Czech professionals in building closer collaborations in this area.
